In shoes, how would I dock a stack to the bottom of the window?
For example I have the following snippet.
Shoe.app do
stack :height => 100 do
background red
end
stack :height => 100 do
background blue
end
end
I would like the blue stack to dock to the bottom of the window, and stay there whenever I resize the window.
To use your example from the mailing list:
Shoes.app do
@s0 = stack do
background red
100.times do
para "yay"
end
end
@s = stack do
style(:attach => Window, :top => height - 100)
background lightblue
para app.width
para app.height
end
@height = 0
every(1) do
unless app.height == @height
@s.clear do
background lightblue
style(:top => height-100)
para app.width
para app.height
end
end
end
end
Hi Sam!
Because of the problems I've had with :scroll => true and setting heights (usually a bad idea with the way Shoes is designed), I would do something similar this way:
This way, you'll find that by being attached to a window, scrolling the whole app should work a lot nicer. I tried running this in OSX and the whole sticky fandango failed on me entirely, so I've since booted into linux (which I will assume you are using too). In linux, the mouse scroll wheel works as well, too.
I keep the style in it's own method call, instead of the stack(styles) way of doing it, since for some reason you cannot save the stack to an instance variable if you do so.
Also, you don't need to save the app object, since self is (almost) always Shoes.app, and if it isn't, there's a method called 'app' to get it.
I hope this helps.
